Slate, stone and weather in Welkom
Welkom is a planned gold-mining town laid out in circular suburbs, and many uniform mine-era brick houses are now being renovated. Owners replace worn lounge and passage floors with charcoal or grey slate, add slate to stoeps and braai areas, and clad garden walls and entrances in stone. Flat Free State plains bring hard winter frost, so outdoor tiles need frost-tolerant, well-sealed stone and a solid bed. Summer hail marks old tile and fibre-cement roofs, and slate-look sheets from earlier decades may contain asbestos, so have them checked before any work. Local merchants stock common tiles and paving, with larger slate orders delivered from Bloemfontein.
Typical fibre cement slates requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: a lighter slate-look re-roof on a family home whose trusses cannot take natural slate
- Older and heritage homes: a lighter alternative on older homes, only where heritage and neighbour rules allow it
- Townhouses and complexes: uniform slate-look roofing across a complex, supplied from one batch for matching colour
- New builds and developments: specified from the plans stage so lighter trusses and standard battens can be used
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: slate-look roofing on offices and restaurants where a quick, even finish is wanted
- Security and golf estates: slate-look roofs on estate homes where the design guidelines allow a manufactured slate
